Quick Quotes (QQ)

So, I've been thinking, and I've decided that it would be fun to quote from a book every week. I'm going to call it quick quotes, because it will be only a couple lines long, and either funny, touching, sad, or anything else in between! I'll do it every Saturday (if I have time that is), and invite anyone else to join me by doing so on their blogs, too.

My first quote is going to be. . .
"Shut up and eat your pears!"
-Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games)

I absolutely loved this line when I read it in The Hunger Games. It just seemed like a funny thing to say when you're in an unnatural arena where everyone is watching you, and you could be dead at any time. It's said by Katniss to Peeta, when he won't eat and isn't hungry, even though he hasn't eaten for probably around a week, maybe more (I don't know exactly how long). I started laughing out loud when I read this!
